Skills for the whole child
Powerful You fosters social and emotional skills while helping youth regulate emotions and problem solve.
School Counseling Lessons Kids LOVE!
Have you been searching for an innovative school counseling program that is packed full of powerful results? Do you want to improve social emotional learning where youth feels safe and supported? Maybe you’re hoping to land on an easy-to-use program that takes the stress out of planning.
Powerful You is a proactive resource designed by a seasoned school counselor. Julie Frizzi discovered that children excelled when she began her guidance lessons with breathing and stretching. Children then begged for her to share the true stories and portraits she collected which she named the Powerful You kids. During these relatable lessons, connection escalated by allowing turn and talk reflection time, positive self-talk practice, and role-play activities. Each of the twenty-six Powerful You kids came alive and gave valuable conversations and problem solving opportunities. Structure and themes were added to create a comprehensive year long program the children, teachers, and administrators respected.
